How to remove TPS connector help - SRT Forums

tanker19kilo · 08-29-2009, 06:12 AM

I am trying to do the TPS repair kit and can't figure out how to remove the white plastic connector off the sensor. I didn't want to break it so need a little advice. I tried wiggling it and that didn't work and I did see a release tab either. HELP PLEASE

There should be a red locking tab that you have to pull out then you press down the release and pull it off. I haven't messed with my TB in a few years so I'm not 100% sure on this....

See was looking for a release tab but there isn't one. Next weekend I am going to try and pry it off if not the dremel will get it done.

There's some kind of release on it. It doesn't just slide off. Otherwise it would vibrate off.

hey dont dremel that its not a pull tab. If you look really close at the white clip there is a small section that needs raised then its a pain to slide out. Just take you time and it will come off. Its probably the hardest clip to remove on the entire car!!

I was calling about this so no worries Neal also helped on this by looking at his car.

Well I got started on this finally. A pair of needle nose pliers did the job. I got as far as soldering one wire and then it started raining. DAMN I hate Baumholder weather. It was nice and sunny when I started.
